Commission approves special-use permit for Roadhouse Blues bar lounge at 1105 S. Tam Lane
Summary
The commission granted a special-use permit to allow a bar lounge (Roadhouse Blues) at 1105 South Tam Lane with conditions including state permits, video surveillance and licensed security during peak hours; staff reported adequate parking and prior bar use at the site.
The Harlingen City Commission approved a special-use permit allowing a bar lounge called Roadhouse Blues to operate in an existing 4,500-square-foot building at 1105 South Tam Lane.
Planning staff summarized the request and said the site provides 63 on-site parking spaces where 24 are required, and that police, fire and health departments raised no objections. Staff recommended approval with conditions including compliance with state permitting, video surveillance, and a licensed security guard during peak hours (Thursday–Saturday, 9 p.m.–2 a.m.).
The applicant’s proposed hours were Thursday through Sunday from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., with live music at least once weekly. Staff noted the building had previously housed a bar, and one adjacent property owner sent a letter of concern because a nearby property is under subdivision review.
The commission moved to approve the SUP with the recommended conditions; the motion passed by voice vote.
